The Carmi Taekwondo Center recently held belt testing for their Pre-TKD (4-6 year olds) group.

Those testing were Luke Bolerjack and Walker Dolan for the orange-stripe white belt, Lydon Dotson, Chase Garrett and Javan Garrett for the yellow-stripe white belt, Dakota Gwaltney, Jayden Buchanan and Xander Wilkerson for the camo-stripe white belt, Liam Batty for the green-stripe white belt, Chase Pringle, Camden Myatt and Maeve Dolan for the blue-stripe white belt and Robert Brown for the brown-stripe white belt.

Belt tests are held about every three months. The belt test differs slightly from the standard rank testing that are held in the regular Taekwondo classes. Students in this class learn basic skills to earn new levels of white belt. As students advance through the striped belts they slowly learn all the required rank material to promote to a full color belt.

Carmi Taekwondo Center is a member of the American Taekwondo Association, one of the largest martial arts organizations in the world. The ATA consists of over 300,000 members and 1,500 schools and clubs. The ATA is one of the few martial arts organizations that certifies not only black belt ranks, but also color belt ranks.
